Extract

Since 1824, when Charles Stokes transmitted to the Geological Society a drawing of the “buccal plates” of Conulus, the question of the existence and characters of the lantern in that genus has been intermittently, but inconclusively, debated. The course of this discussion may be briefly outlined here.

1 The same remark applies to the periproctal plates described by North, F. J. (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., December, 1915).Google Scholar His specimen is obviously a species of that Upper Chalk Caratomid genus variously called Echinoconus (Desor, fid. Lambert), Pironaster (Schlueter), or Conulopsis (Hawkins). Anyhow, the horizon from which it was collected, and all the particulars published about it, show clearly that it is not a Discoides.
